Mr. Pibb + Red Vines = CRAZY DELICIOUS!

Even if you don't see them on TV very often, some moments and phrases will be popular enough to remain in the heads of the most die-hard watchers. There are so many related to game shows that they get their own page, so please don't add them here.

Please add entries in the following format:

  • The name of the show.
    • Meme name: description of meme and how it's used.
      • Source of meme and fandom it relates to in the form of a hot tip.
      • Further mutations and successor memes, if any.

    • The Romulan "It's a FAAAAAAKE!" guy from Star Trek: Deep Space Nine is pretty memetastic, and a source of narmy goodness, as depicted in this video.
      • IT'S REEEEEEEEEEEEEAL!

    • "He's dead, Jim."

    • "Da-da DA DA DA DA DA da-da DA DA..." [5]
    • From TNG, let us state (rather loudly) for the record that There Are Four Lights!
    • "I am [character name] of Borg." Followed by some character-appropriate variation on the phrase "You will be assimilated. Resistance is futile." The identification of the Borg with Microsoft was a common Web meme in the mid-1990s.
      • "I am Pentium of Borg. Accuracy is irrelevant. You will be approximated."
      • This is a Borg. This is drugs. This is a Borg on drugs: "Resilience is floor tile. Wanna be simulated?"

    • During the course of a typical interview, Hansen will read "explicit" lines such as "that's terribly sexy" or "I like rape" from the transcripts of chats between the alleged predators and non-underage decoys. These quotes are often remixed as pick-up lines, used for trolling purposes, or combined with other memetic material.

  • Documentaries are rarely the source for Memetic Mutation, but it happened to the Discovery Channel miniseries Miracle Planet. The first episode showed what early life (circa 4 billion years ago) had to go through, including strikes by asteroids up to (and including) 500 kilometers in diameter. The episode did a computer animation showing the effects of an impact by such a huge asteroid upon the Earth. To give it a proper sense of scale, the target was modern-day Earth. See the results here. It ends with Earth a barren wasteland, with its oceans evaporated, all surface life vaporized, and the only survivors being bacteria living deep underground. The sheer violence of the scenes led to it basically becoming Stock Footage on YouTube, in order to show (sometimes in an overblown/comedic fashion) the destructive force of, say, a collision between two Falcon Punches. Yeah.
  • Peter Kay. His entire career is based on Memetic Mutation:
    • Get on t'internet!
    • Garlic? Bread?!
    • Booked it, packed it, fucked off!
      • It's probably only the slightly questionable language that's stopped the company behind Teletext holidays (to which it refers) trying to get a marketing deal with Peter Kay. You can, however, get a beach towel with a suitably censored version of the slogan.
    • And far too many others to list.
  • In Italy, a commercial for an alcoholic drink shows a character having the Best. Day. Ever. and being asked at the end 'What more do you want from life?', and them answering with, 'Un Lucano!' ('A Lucano!'), the name of the product. Since then, it's almost a given to answer that kind of question that way, jokingly.
  • Much like Monty Python, German comedian Loriot created a huge amount of Memetic Mutations in Germany with his show in the 70's. There are dozens, if not hundreds, completely inconspicuous sentences or just words that can still get half the people in the room to crack up.

  • Dinner for One:
- By the way, the same procedure as last year, Miss Sophie?
—The same procedure as every year, James.
  1. ↑ The end of every episode, showing a clip that didn't make the final cut or an extended version of a previously shown clip.
  2. ↑ Apparently, the acronym of every organization is NAMBLA.
  3. ↑ Originates from the Jim Cramer interview, where Jon had videos prepared of statements Cramer had made on his show, which contradicted parts of his explanation. Became a Running Gag for a while for Jon to shout it before playing a video clip of someone saying something in the past that conflicted with their more recent statements.
  4. ↑ The closest the franchise ever came to saying the line, was once in the animated series where Kirk says "Beam us up, Scotty" in one episode, and then again in Star Trek IV the Voyage Home when in one scene, he says "Scotty, beam me up".
  5. ↑ Fight music, especially when Kirk and Spock fight on Vulcan when Spock goes into heat
  6. ↑ One of Charlie's lines at the end of the pilot episode, indicating to the audience that the survivors aren't on a normal island.
  7. ↑ The memetic numbers of the series and their sum, which appear in the plot on multiple occasions.
  8. ↑ Said by Tom to Sawyer in a season three episode when the latter is being held in a polar bear cage, famously remixed on YTMND.
  9. ↑ From a season six scene when the villainous Keamy affably offers to make Sayid some eggs.
  10. ↑ From Locke's habit of blowing objects up during season three.
  11. ↑ Jack's habit of making strange faces, which was turned into a Drinking Game. Referenced here in a Cyanide & Happiness comic.
  12. ↑ Michael's Narmy cry for his kidnapped son Walt, heard at the end of season one and frequently during season two.
  13. ↑ In reference to a season three cliffhanger when Jack orders Kate to escape and yells "Kate, dammit, RUN!"
  14. ↑ One of the many humorous lines that comes from Hurley's mother. She's referencing Sayid, who is neither Pakistani nor dead.
  15. ↑ Ben is known for frequently lying on the show, to the extent that his Catch Phrase is "I lied."
  16. ↑ Lines frequently uttered by the Others.
  17. ↑ Desmond's Catch Phrase, occasionally repeated by other characters.
  18. ↑ A famous line from the Meta Twist final scene of the season three finale.
  19. ↑ Nestor Carbonell plays the popular character Richard Alpert, who was largely absent during most of season four because he was working on the show Cane. After Cane was canceled, he was able to make more appearances, eventually becoming a regular cast member by season six.
  20. ↑ Badass Preacher Mr. Eko carries around for a weapon a stick with Bible verses carved in it. On the show, Charlie nicknamed it the "Jesus Stick," a name that the fans embraced.
  21. ↑ Fans took the Unfortunate Implications of Richard saying that young Ben's innocence will be lost and ran with it, making Richard into a borderline Memetic Molester.
  22. ↑ Kate frequently wants to come along whenever Jack and/or Sawyer is doing something.
  23. ↑ Joey's Catch Phrase that he uses to attract women.
  24. ↑ Recurring character Janice's Incoming Ham Catch Phrase

  26. ↑ Ross's frequent insistence that he was not in the wrong for sleeping with the girl at the copy place because he and Rachel were on a break.
  27. ↑ The opening theme song of the series, became an endemic Interrupting Meme in many parts of the internet.
  28. ↑ There's a fad among video makers that involves synching the show's theme song with other music, claiming that it works with any kind of music. Unsurprisingly, it does. Too well, in fact. No, seriously. This seems to have been inspired by the Guile theme goes with anything meme in the Street Fighter fandom. Naturally, the two themes go together, which is a total mind @#$%.
  29. ↑ Carlton looooved to break out into dance to Tom Jones. Even Will (who usually gave this antic a Fascinating Eyebrow) joined in for the final time.
  30. ↑ Another dance involving Will and Carlton; this time, it was a duo act used to win a contest.
  31. ↑ It became a Running Gag that the team would keep suspecting the patient had lupus only to be proven wrong, to the point were House used a hollowed lupus textbook for storage. The joke died swiftly after there was a patient who actually had lupus.
  32. ↑ Tritter was unbelievably creepy in all of his appearances, and the fandom immediately leaped to "serial rapist".
  33. ↑ House drugs Wilson with amphetamines, leading to this line.

  38. ↑ Marshall's exclamation upon kicking legal ass.
  39. ↑ Barney's rallying cry to his friends. Because suits are awesome.
  40. ↑ Robin has a habit of saying but um and it was turned into a drinking game by viewers of her show. Ted also has trouble pronouncing encyclopedia.
  41. ↑ A jealous Robin screams this at a coworker who sighs that Barney's Grand Romantic Gesture towards Nora is "so dreamy."
  42. ↑ Ted shouts this to an appreciative crowd in McLaren's Bar while drunkenly performing for them. A common reaction gif, the proper response is "We love you too, Drunk!Ted!"
  43. ↑ The Threat Down segment lists the current "theats to America", with bears originally always number one (Colbert, either actually or as part of his persona, has a massive fear of bears).
  44. ↑ A common question Colbert asks his guests, parodying the questions a lot of "real" news pundits ask.
  45. ↑ After Jon Kyl said that 90% of what the Planned Parenthood organization did was funding abortion, he was called out on the fact that the actual figure was somewhere around 3%. He responded that it wasn't intended to be a factual statement.
  46. ↑ Tim put Gareth's stapler in a jelly mould as a prank
  47. ↑ Gareth/Dwight think the former is his title, when it's actually the latter, though it's technically meaningless either way

  50. ↑ A popular advertisement for the Discovery Channel, partially for its highly exploitable snowclone nature, as shown below.
  51. ↑ Elliot is undercover as a thug and Olivia's about to be caught in his apartment. She strips down to bra and panties and poses as a prostitute. Cue worldwide race to bunks everywhere.
  52. ↑ Serena Southerlyn, upon being fired. One of the most famous Ass Pulls in history.
  53. ↑ Adam's reaction after a small scale experiment isn't quite as small as they expected. For the record, he was.
  54. ↑ The single instance of Jamie being less eloquent than Adam. Also a fairly accurate summary of the entire series.
  55. ↑ Adam's reaction after being corrected by previous footage of himself. Became an Ascended Meme when Adam wore a shirt bearing the line.
  56. ↑ Testing the myth of whether a duck's quack echos, the first step is actually getting the ducks to quack. It doesn't go well.

  58. ↑ The only viable reaction when things don't go as planned.
  59. ↑ Adam on occasion will pull out a nature documentary voice and proceed to describe Jamie as if he were some kind of rare animal, with hilarious results.
  60. ↑ Dean Winchester's rules of the Impala. Meaning Sam should shut up.
  61. ↑ Dean gets his Ghost-esque telekinesis on while almost-dead.
  62. ↑ How the brothers Winchester declare their love for each other.
  63. ↑ Castiel identifying himself as the one who rescued Dean from Hell
  64. ↑ Castiel takes his phone seriously
  65. ↑ Castiel's choice of Pre-Ass-Kicking One-Liner leaves something to be desired
  66. ↑ Sam lost it down a storm drain while trying to scrape off gum. He was having a very bad day.
  67. ↑ A particularly amusing quote from Dean, from "Clap Your Hands if You Believe". Went memetic courtesy of Twitter, prompting some alarm from some members of the gay community, who didn't realize it was about actual fairies.
